Everyone knows how to Google something - but Google provides a lot of revolutionary ways to search for things. Today, we learned about searches such as Google Scholar and searching for blogs. There's a great resource for Google searches and Hacks at Geekology. Google Educator also offers classroom lessons and resources for teachers.

Another resource that has recently jumped onto the scene is "social bookmarking."

Any time you want to learn to use a new technology, there is usually a great youtube video to go along with it. Delicious is no different. Delicious bills itself as "a Social Bookmarking service, which means you can save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking. It also means that we can show you the most popular bookmarks being saved right now across many areas of interest. In addition, our search and tagging tools help you keep track of your entire bookmark collection and find tasty new bookmarks from people like you." When used in an educational setting, and sharing bookmarks among educators, Delicious can lead you to new methods, technology, or tips for your field.

I looked for information about Biology, Technology, and Education on Delicious. Here are my bookmarks that I have shared. You'll also notice some political stuff, and viral videos, because that's things I am interested in, in my personal life. Each of these things I looked for would be considered a "tag." A tag is simply a term for something you a looking for. I looked for Biology, Education, and Technology. As I look at each tag, it takes me to something on the web that has been bookmarked, that has the term associated with it. The bookmarks would be pages on the web that have good information on them.
